Preg is better, IMO.

code:

---

$string = preg_replace("/\[\[wiki\](.+)\]/i", '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1">$1</a>', $string);

And maybe even support for different languages like

[[wiki:nl]RAM] for http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM and
[[wiki:en]RAM] for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM

I'm not really a hero with advanced string replacers , so any help is appreciated

code:

---

$string = preg_replace("/\[\[wiki:([a-z]{2})\](.+)\]/i", '<a href="http://$1.wikipedia.org/wiki/$2">$2</a>', $string);

Not sure, didn't test it. Variable name should be changed to the variable name you use for your post text.

Edit: corrected a lot of typos


Edit 2: @ WDZ => preg_ > ereg/i

Edit 3: can be quite buggy if you use many tags in the same post... cbb to fix it
